Funders & Finances

B Lab's work would not be possible without the vision and generous support of our community of funding partners. To all those who have supported us since 2006, we say thank you; we are humbled by your commitment of time, resources, and capital.

B Lab has raised over $32M in philanthropic capital since inception and has received substantial grant funding from a wide range of donors, including foundations, governmental agencies, individuals, and corporations.

Since 2007, the Rockefeller Foundation has been committed to growth and development of the impact investing sector as a way to address social and environmental challenges and accelerate benefits to poor and vulnerable people. B Lab has been a critical partner in this work and with the creation of GIIRS has laid some of the foundational infrastructure needed to expand the sector and address the world's social challenges."

Financial Model and Transparency

B Lab Global's financial model reflects a mix of earned and philanthropic revenue. Over the last ten years, B Lab's earned revenue has risen to over 50% of its operating budget of ~10M, making the organization increasingly self-sustaining while allowing for philanthropic revenue to focus on new market innovations. Over time, our goal is to be 80% self-sustaining; leaving a 20% budget to address market barriers and support development of programs ahead of the market.

As a 501C3, B Lab makes its Forms 990 available to the public. If you have any questions about B Lab's finances or philanthropic support, reach out to us here.
